Well, I have been out of town and out of touch for a week. Thankfully, I was traveling during todays finishing touches of another melt down. Obviously we're all mad and disappointed but what now?

It will be no surprise when Venturi goes, and the defense is totally reshuffled next year. The big questions on my mind are Brooks and Haslett.

Brooks was terrible again this year when it counted. Just in case anyone forgot he was bad last year down the stretch in our 0-4 final month. From what I heard the Dome was booing and his performance was deserving. But what do you do with him? You just gave him what, $12 mil in a signing bonus. Getting rid of him hurts the pocket book a lot. Do you shop him around? Hope for yet another year that he finally matures and comes around?

And what about ole Jimmy boy? Two years, a combined 1-7 in the final month of the season and two missed trips to the playoffs. An unwillingness to change when everyone seemed to see exactly what the problem was, inability to rally the troops, bad coordinators, and total lack of any sustained level of play. Does he deserve to be fired?

My personal opinion - get rid of them both. Let Jake manage the offense or go get some one new. Grab Marvin Lewis while you can so we don't have to subject ourselves to another December like this past one.
